3-Methylglutaconic aciduria type 1 (3-Methylglutaconicaciduria; Aciduria, 3-methylglutaconic type I) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a mutation in the AUH gene which codes for methylglutaconyl-CoA hydratase. A deficiency in this enzyme results in accumulation of 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid, 3-methylglutaconic acid, and methylglutaric acid in urine. Symptoms include hypoglycemia, low birth weight, coma, seizures, and mental retardation. Treatment includes a low protein diet.
